5 Important Updates in Female Health

Female Health, Medical Reports / By Laura Koniver, MD

1. A new study just published in the January 2013 issue of Maturitas revealed that urinary incontinence (UI) does not go hand in hand with menopause. Although conventional medical wisdom has often stated that urinary incontinence has an onset at (or worsening of symptoms at) menopause, a recently published metanalysis of the medical literature doesn’t support this now out-dated thinking. Researchers looked at over 450 studies in the medical literature and found that there was no link between menopause and onset or severity of urinary incontinence. This is so important for us to understand as women, because: …

Pinterest Challenge #1: Girls Rule! (and everyone gets a Freebie!)

Female Health / By Laura Koniver, MD

So on Monday we were talking about my last period — fun stuff, huh? And I shared with you my two fav ways to deal with the nitty gritty of menstruation. Then later that day I was on Pinterest (love it over in the fantastical world of Pinterest-land, don’t you?) and I had fun creating a Female Health Pinboard. Of course I included all my fav things like the Diva Cup… cloth pads… my female health eBook… some artwork and fun quotes… my fav organic perfume… my fav organic soap… chocolate covered strawberries… champagne… all kinds of …

The Two Healthiest Ways To Have A Period Are Also The Two Cheapest!

Female Health / By Laura Koniver, MD

For my last period, I couldn’t find my much beloved Diva cup. (I can literally hear all the guys reading this instantly click off this blog post, but if you are brave enough to make it past that first sentence I think you’ve made it past the hard part.) Well, I was debating whether to use the cloth pads my daughter uses or break down and use a tampon, which I haven’t used in years and years. I didn’t really love the idea of going through my week wearing cloth pads exclusively around the clock… but in the end I …

Thoughts On Health… Excercise (dang!)

Female Health, Medical Reports / By Laura Koniver, MD

Oh how I have fallen. I am completely out of my exercise routine… I manage to work in an at-home 20 minute Yoga DVD about twice a week and those 40 minutes, my friend, is the total sum of my exercising attempts lately. At first I told myself it’s okay because I’m young and can get it all back. Hmmm. I think I still can but it’s going to be harder to re-capture my cardiovascular fitness now then it used to be, so instead of maintaining health I will have to re-build it. Bummer. Then I told …

Thoughts on Health FAQ: Uterine Prolapse… or “Thanks a lot, gravity!”

Female Health / By Laura Koniver, MD

I’ve been asked about uterine prolapse multiple times over the past month or two, so I thought it would be a good topic for my blog. With all of the commercials out there asking you to sue your doctor if you’ve had a mesh implant… and all of the complications that can arise from the surgery, I wanted to share with you my advice for mild prolapse. Avoid surgery. That is my advice for sure. But what can you do to help with mild to moderate prolapse? Enter Jade and Pearl. Jade and Pearl sell reusable sea pearls (all …

Happy Labor Day!

Positive Parenting / By Laura Koniver, MD

I have one of the most amazing friends in the world, Barbara Rivera… creator and innovator of Birth Power. I think she is brilliant. She has so much passion for birthing… and she wants every girl in the world today to grow up with positive birthing images… positive birth stories… infused with the knowledge that giving birth is natural, glorious, and wonderful. Ever since birth has been made into a clinically sterile and even negative event by the media and medical professionals, it has become harder and harder for our young children to grow up in a world where …
